i like cow poo said: the part about fatass drivers getting pissed off really relates to me.
some people comming from mcdonalds in their air conditioned cars get mad because they have to wait five seconds and then pass me up.
Some people who drive are in fine shape, and have places to go. They don't want to have to worry about running over some moron on a bike because he thinks he's entitled to hold up traffic as he Saves the Universe.
These comments about fat-ass drivers and the like only reinforce the idea that self-important cyclists deserve to become hood ornaments.
What's up with the bike hate in this thread? I've had that happen to me RP, all the time actually. People in their cars just can't take 3 seconds out of their day to pass a bike that's in the shoulder. Doesn't make any sense to me. I live the most bike friendly city in the world and there are still assholes like you encountered. Just keep on biking man.
I give them enough space to transform into a whale if they want to, when they're riding on the shoulder. Everybody makes good points, though I think everyone is talking about a little something different than the next person in this thread.

Cars that won't pass me even though they have all the room in the world piss me off more than immature children. They create incredibly awkward situations.
Like... riding on the line of a REALLY wide right turn lane. Imagine: I could be riding side by side with another bike, and there would still be room to pass to our right. But people get scared (I guess?) and won't pass me to make the right turn; I just laugh at them usually. Do people really not know where their tires are? How do they parallel park??

they can't I swear that is a lost art. Fun to watch people try it though. Youtube is a goldmine.

FIFY
But yeah, dipshit rednecks hate people on bikes. I had a friend get run off his bike in Greenville NC once, and they turned around and then ran over the bike itself, destroying it. He started carrying a gun when biking after that and I don't fucking blame him. Just remember that, they are and will probably always be losers. Unfortunately the good old USA is chock full of asswipes like this.
PS: great to see some of you morons weighing in on this very thread.

Damn. I've never really gotten hassled here in sunny southern California.
I read these horror stories elsewhere; I guess I should count my blessings.
If someone ran my bike over, I would hunt them down though. I hold grudges.
